What is a legal observer?

Legal observers watch and record details of activist interactions with the police/security and activist arrests at demonstrations and actions. They do not directly take part in actions or demonstrations but provide a critical support role. By their presence they help to keep people safe by detering police misconduct and if there is such an incident they collect information which may be useful in a later court hearing.
